Ambassador's

So one of the main reasons I decided to come to Southern Utah University was because of a Transfer student leadership weekend. It is a weekend when student's come to Cedar City, have an interview, campus tour, dinner, a school activity and make some great new friends. When I was deciding where to transfer schools, SUU came to Snow college and one individual really convinced me to come to the weekend. Her name is Amie Anderson. I was pretty determined to come to SUU, but the fact that the day before the weekend she called me to double check if I was coming. It was the deciding fact that I was going to come to SUU. That personal relation was the reason I am came. The reason I am staying is a completely different reason.

That weekend I really came out of the shell I was in. There was a big group of us and we went to SUU's cabin. We played games, interacted with each other. Around 2 am most people went asleep, I didn't. I met a lot of people, including one of my best friends, Brian Sperry. Now, when this weekend started we did not become the friends that we are today. We started off on the wrong foot with each other. I sang a song at 3 in the morning, and he got pretty mad. I was loud and he was trying to sleep. I know I was very much in the wrong, and I would have yelled at someone else if they were doing the same.

Upon looking at that weekend, I am so glad that I went.  These friendships that I have made here at SUU, particularly those in ambassadors. I love it here and hope that everyone looks at SUU for school because it really is great. I would do anything for these ambassadors that I work with weekly. It can be easy to get lost in everything that is going on, but these distinguished people have literally changed my outlook on life. I am learning more and more about myself and how I interact with everyone.
